Hi,

I was wondering, what are your top 5 reads for news while in Korea?

I'll go first

-Cyberpresse http://www.cyberpresse.ca/ my home town's best news source
-Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/ good old Washington drama
-Financial Times http://www.ft.com/ eh... I like to pretend I have tons of money sometimes
-Drudge Report http://drudgereport.com/ I love the shivers that site runs down my spine.... Its Canadian wannabe/counterpart Bourque Newswatch http://www.bourque.org/ is very so-so
-Chosun Ilbo http://english.chosun.com/ haven't been in Korea for 4 months but yet I check it out daily, it's almost a good one amongst the very bad

My honorable mentions:
http://slashdot.org/
http://www.kottke.org/
http://news.google.com/

What are your sources?

Dave's.

Up to date, no advertisments and positively soaked with unsubstantiated sensationalism.

I loves it.

I'm currently not in Korea right now but I'll point out what news sources I've been reading while I was in Korea and still continue to read.

The News section for Yahoo.com and MSNBC. These are mostly AP reports and videos posted online about the news.

The News section at naver and daum. These provide links to TV reports to the Korean news stations. I look at these primarily to improve my Korean vocabulary and listening skills, since they have both the written transcript and the online video of the news report.

Haha, that's funny. . . and scary. I'm scared. I'm scared my absentee ballot won't arrive. The more I see and read, the more scared I get. I guess that's why she doesn't read newspapers, it's too scary.

Placer County, CA already emailed absentee ballots. I voted yesterday and faxed it back.
